As years pass by, the image of our past becomes blurred, sharp lines become diffuse, the exact and precise description of past actions loses its clarity and exactness, the entire image is outlined in shades of grey, without black or white accents; people’s actions are no longer firmly enrolled by the good/bad categorization.

Melting addresses the issue of Romania recent past and how it is perceived by contemporaries. Too often, for those who lived in the communist era, the communist brutality and the ugliness of the collective past is blurred by fond memories of a personal past. For those who were born after the collapse of the communist regime, the past is nothing else but a sad, closed chapter without connection to the country’s past or future.
